Principal Genetic Counsellor

2 months ago


London, United Kingdom St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We have an exciting opportunity to join a friendly, dynamic and supportive team of Genetic Counsellors at the South West Thames Centre for Genomics.

This is a Band 8a Principal Genetic Counsellor post providing an exciting opportunity to join the friendly, dynamic and supportive team of Genetic Counsellors at the South West Thames Centre for Genomics.

The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing a specialist area of the genetic counselling team, with a focus on rare disease and prenatal work, but may be required to provide cross cover for cancer services. This will be dependent upon service needs and will take into account the experience and interests of the candidate.

Our management team has matured over the past several years, and we have a good mix of skills and experience, allowing us to support one another. The genetic counselling team provide clinical consultation, counselling and referral support for patients, midwives, consultants and other health professionals in the region. We work closely with various referrers, developing and providing collaborative multidisciplinary services to best support our patients.

Main duties of the job

The post holder may have a mixed caseload and responsibility for triage/case review/line management for the team including cancer, rare disease, prenatal and possibly other specialist genetics clinics. We also have a growing cardiac genetics service. The successful candidate will also support our training programme for STP trainees and MSc students.

In addition to clinical work, this post holds many opportunities for teaching, research and development. Our Consultant Geneticist team are leading clinical academic work and the genetic counselling team make a huge contribution to teaching opportunities at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. This is in addition to outreach teaching and support work with the network of health care professionals in our region. We encourage on-going personal and professional development in addition to supporting involvement in research, with our team often presenting at national and international conferences.

Applicants should ideally have experience as a Band 8a Principal Genetic Counsellor and must be registered with the Genetic Counsellor Registration Board (GCRAB) or equivalent and ideally will have valid Sign-off Mentor/Assessor training. We are looking for a genetic counsellor who is confident working autonomously within the busy, often time pressured, genetic counselling setting. The post holder will be able to recognise the needs of a service and to adopt a flexible and collaborative approach and provide support to colleagues when needed.
